Center for Ocean-Land-Atmosphere Studies

The Center for Ocean-Land-Atmosphere Studies (COLA) is a research organization that investigates how interactions among the ocean, land, and atmosphere affect weather and climate patterns globally. By studying these complex interactions, COLA aims to improve the accuracy of weather forecasts and climate predictions. Their work helps scientists understand phenomena like hurricanes, droughts, and climate change, ultimately supporting better planning and decision-making for communities and industries affected by weather and climate variability.
